Disclaimer
- Any electronic mail you receive from a director, employee, or representative of Kone Attorneys Incorporated or any other person using a Kone Attorneys Incorporated’s email address, including any attachments thereto (“the email”), is subject to the Kone Attorneys Incorporated email disclaimer (“disclaimer”) set out herein.
- The email may contain information, which is confidential, private, subject to legal privilege or otherwise protected by law. If you are not the stated addressee (or such person’s authorised representative) you must:
- Notify the sender of this fact immediately by return email, fax or telephone and delete the email from your system;
- Refrain from printing, copying, forwarding, or otherwise disclosing any information contained in the email or any part thereof; and
- Refrain from reading, storing, selling, or otherwise using any information contained in the email or any part thereof for any purpose including, without limitation, incorporating any information contained in the email into any database or mailing list for whatever reason, including for purposes of spamming or marketing. Failure to do so may amount to the unlawful interception of a communication, the infringement of copyright and/or the infringement of the right to privacy, thus exposing you to criminal and/or civil liability.
- Notwithstanding any other provision of this disclaimer, neither Kone Attorneys Incorporated, the sender of the email, or any other Kone Attorneys Incorporated representative will be liable for any loss, damage or expense of whatever nature (including without limitation that caused by the corruption or loss of data, damage to software programmes and interruption of business operations) resulting directly or indirectly from the transmission of the email (including without limitation any malicious software code or viruses transmitted together with the email, or any corruption to or loss of data contained in the email).
- The views and opinions expressed in the email do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Kone Attorneys Incorporated. In particular, no Kone Attorneys Incorporated representative or employee may send:
- Unsolicited commercial messages (“spam”);
- Messages that infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights (including copyright trademarks) or other rights (“infringing content”); or
- Messages containing content that is offensive, derogatory, racist, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful (“offensive content”).
If the email constitutes spam, contains infringing content or offensive content, or was otherwise sent for purposes unrelated to the official business of Kone Attorneys Incorporated, that email is contrary to the values and principles of our Firm and falls outside the scope of employment of the individual concerned and our Firm will not be liable for any loss, damage, or expense of whatever nature resulting therefrom.
- Kone Attorneys Incorporated reserves the right to read, monitor, access, block, delete, copy, or otherwise intercept any email transmitted to or from the Kone Attorneys Incorporated mail servers.
- Where the time or date on which the email was transmitted is in issue, unless the content thereof expressly provides otherwise, Kone Attorneys Incorporated will be deemed to have:
- Sent the email once reflected in our log files as “sent” on our mail servers; and
- Received, but not deemed to have read, an email once reflected in our log files as “received” on our mail servers.
- The disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa and will be deemed to supersede any terms contained in any email received by Kone Attorneys Incorporated, insofar as these conflict with this disclaimer.
- Please contact Fhatuwani Kone of our Information Officer (012) 323 4541 or send him a message (info@koneattorneys.co.za) should you have any queries or concerns regarding the disclaimer or email.
